Following the success of Ladurée: Sucre, here is the second volume of never before- published recipes from the legendary Ladurée tearoom. One hundred elegant recipes from Ladurée’s Chef beautifully photographed and packed into an eye-catching book reminiscent of the famous macaron boxes. From duck foie gras with rose macaroon to vegetable tagliatelle with Ladurée tea and cardamom, as well as the taramasalata éclair with rose petals, the Chef presents us with an entire artist’s array of appetizers, main courses, fish, meat, salads and omelettes…All bearing the unmistakable Ladurée quality and creativity.

In days gone by, Ladurées reputation was built around its renowned cakes and pastries. However, the savoury fare: omelettes, salads and dainty finger sandwiches... always played a leading role in the establishment's repertoire. Over the last several years, Ladurée has gone a step further and created a recipe collection marrying the sweet and the savoury. In this book, you will discover the great classics of French pastry - transformed into delicious savoury dishes!

From biscuits to cakes, and from tarts to pastries, the classics of the House of Ladurée are unveiled in this beautifully photographed collection of recipes. Even the world-famous macaroon reveals its secrets! Within these pages, you will find a tantalising array of refined flavours and enchanting colours: powder pink, vibrant lilac and Ladurees trademark pastel green ... where the delicious combines with the exquisite for the delight of all gourmets.

The wonderful story of Ladurée began in 1862 when Louis Ernest Ladurée opened a bakery in the very heart of Paris at 16, rue Royale. During this era, the neighborhood surrounding the Madeleine was rapidly developing into one of the capitals most important and elegant business districts. The most prestigious artisans in French luxury goods had already taken up residence there. At the beginning of the 20th century, Jeanne Souchard, Ernest Ladurées wife, thought of combining distinct styles: the Parisian café and pastry shop. With this, one of the very first Parisian tea salons was born. It was in 1993 that this sleeping beauty with still untapped potential was taken over by David Holder and his father Francis Holder. With the opening of the Ladurée restaurant and tea salon on the Champs Élysées in 1997, decorated by Jacques Garcia, this true institution became one of the top addresses for Parisian gourmandises.

Boutiques in Printemps Grand Magasin and on Paris left bank followed, as did the beginning of the international adventure with openings in London, Geneva and Tokyo.

A revolutionary approach to making better-looking, better-tasting drinks.

In Dave Arnold’s world, the shape of an ice cube, the sugars and acids in an apple, and the bubbles in a bottle of champagne are all ingredients to be measured, tested, and tweaked.

With Liquid Intelligence, the creative force at work in Booker & Dax, New York City’s high-tech bar, brings readers behind the counter and into the lab. There, Arnold and his collaborators investigate temperature, carbonation, sugar concentration, and acidity in search of ways to enhance classic cocktails and invent new ones that revolutionize your expectations about what a drink can look and taste like.

Years of rigorous experimentation and study — botched attempts and inspired solutions — have yielded the recipes and techniques found in these pages. Featuring more than 120 recipes and nearly 450 color photographs, Liquid Intelligence begins with the simple— how ice forms and how to make crystal-clear cubes in your own freezer — and then progresses into advanced techniques like clarifying cloudy lime juice with enzymes, nitro-muddling fresh basil to prevent browning, and infusing vodka with coffee, orange, or peppercorns.

Practical tips for preparing drinks by the pitcher, making homemade sodas, and building a specialized bar in your own home are exactly what drink enthusiasts need to know. For devotees seeking the cutting edge, chapters on liquid nitrogen, chitosan/gellan washing, and the applications of a centrifuge expand the boundaries of traditional cocktail craft.

Arnold’s book is the beginning of a new method of making drinks, a problem-solving approach grounded in attentive observation and creative techniques. Readers will learn how to extract the sweet flavor of peppers without the spice, why bottling certain drinks beforehand beats shaking them at the bar, and why quinine powder and succinic acid lead to the perfect gin and tonic.

Liquid Intelligence is about satisfying your curiosity and refining your technique, from red-hot pokers to the elegance of an old-fashioned. Whether you’re in search of astounding drinks or a one-of-a-kind journey into the next generation of cocktail making, Liquid Intelligence is the ultimate standard — one that no bartender or drink enthusiast should be without.

Winner of the 2015 James Beard Award for Best Beverage Book and the 2015 IACP Jane Grigson Award.
